Hilarious.

Classic.

Gwen Stefani barefoot in a sundress (no less sweaty on stage) was enough to put teenage Nokomis over the edge.

Took a road trip with the kids to CO last week. Lots of driving through winding mountain passes with steep dropoffs and no guard rail. I was nervous driving it. And there were dudes biking it! How they can make it up those mountain passes, and still have the wherewithal to not fall off a...

Whitewater State Park is a short drive from the metro.

Couple updates/frustrations from the wide world of youth sports. My daughter had an 11U softball tournament over the weekend. The coaches were getting heated and yelling at the ump, who was a teenage girl. At one point, the coach went over, put his hand on her shoulder, and spoke sternly to...

Watched The Goonies over the weekend with the kids. The kids liked it, but as a grown-up...oof... Did NOT hold up for me. It's like a 13 yo wrote it one afternoon, and Spielberg filmed it over the weekend. The acting is atrocious. The teenage romance stuff is forced and out of place. The...

Cantaloop came on the radio. My kids didn't think it was the funkiest thing they'd ever heard like I did the first time I heard it (and still do).

My kids are in the sweet spot for youth sports -- not yet high school but old enough where it's not just chaos. We just do house rec leagues (not travelling competitive), and even those the parents and families are intense. The best I can describe these parents is "dweebs", knowing there are...

Interesting that the dip came during the Covid years. I would've thought the opposite. Unless taprooms are really that much of a money maker. We'll see if 2023 is a bounce back year. Or maybe people are just drinking less. Dry January has caught on, and maybe people are realizing the health...

The Hold Steady drip with local references. I like: Sweet St. Paul, that must be the hardest luck saint of them all.

Agree on The Armory. It's perfect for 40-somethings who feel like they've aged out of First Ave. :LOL:

Saw Rodrigo y Gabriela at The Fitz last night. Truly phenomenal and unlike anything I've ever experienced. If you get a chance to see them live, I HIGHLY recommend it. New favorite concert.

Allister left for Stanford and Trachsel went to Ole Miss. So not just Holtz. ;)

Fair enough. My point is that I don't think losing Ortiz weighs on the psyche of MN sports fans the same way losing Holtz or KG does. Losing Ortiz doesn't even register among my MN sports laments.

KG is a better example than Ortiz. KG was a generationally great player during and after his time at MN. Ortiz was a timing issue who found his groove with Boston. KG truly wanted to be here and win a championship here but then won it with Boston. No one "blames" KG for leaving, and we were...

Seems like Bullwinkle's is in a constant state of uncertainty. Which is too bad because that was our regular Thursday night place in college. Also occasioned by former Twins slugger David Ortiz.

P.S. I've never seen the video to this song. I like how she has a Lifter Puller t-shirt on.
